This is the Pythagorean theorem where the 2 legs of a triangle squared add up to equal the squared hypotenuse (a^2 + b^2 = c^2)

The equation would be
12^2 + 5^2 = x^2

144 + 25 = 169

The square root of 169 = 13

Answer - 13 ft

How do you find the area of this composite figure?
Illusion [34]
If you notice the picture below

the composite figure is just a trapezoid sitting on top of a rectangle
and then, the rectangle has a triangular hole in it

so.. get the area of the trapezoid   \bf \textit{area of a trapezoid}=A=\cfrac{h}{2}(a+b)\qquad 
\begin{cases}
h=height\\
a,b=\textit{parallel sides or bases}
\end{cases}

then get the area of the rectangle, which is just a 12x14
and then get the area of the triangle, which surely you know is 1/2 bh

then, subtract the triangle's area from the rectangle's area

and whatever is left, namely the difference, add that to the area of the trapezoid, and that's the composite's area

namely the area of the trapezoid plus the rectangle's, minus the triangle's

A philanthropist pledges to donate 10% of a fund each year. If the fund initially has $450,000 how much will
Ann [662]

After 7 years fund balance will be $2152336.05 if the philanthropist pledges to donate 10% of a fund each year.

<h3>What is an exponential function?</h3>

It is defined as the function that rapidly increases and the value of the exponential function is always a positive. It denotes with exponent. \rm y = a^x

where a is a constant and a>1

We have:

A philanthropist pledges to donate 10% of a fund each year.

We can find the amount left after 7 years as follows:

A = 450000(1 - 0.1)⁷

10% of a fund each year.

Rate r = 10% = 0.1

A = 450000(0.9)⁷

A = $2152336.05

Thus, after 7 years fund balance will be $2152336.05 if the philanthropist pledges to donate 10% of a fund each year.

Nataly [62]

Answer:

(3,1)

Step-by-step explanation:

If you plot both of the points on a graph you get another straight line.

When you connect the dots you get 3,1 as the midpoint of the two segments :))
